Requiem

I felt the rush of love in my bones But when your demons lashed out It wasn't enough After all I couldn't hold you up and I woke up alone I should've seen this coming You were a shadow of the one that I loved But I couldn't let go I covered my eyes with the thought you would be fine And when the sickness spread It was free to take what was left Take what was left that night All of this to feel alive for one last time I should've known, I should've seen it all along Shadows creep under my eyelids I don't think the night's ever been quite this cold What will it take to escape my thoughts? I thought I knew you I thought I could see through you I don't think the night's ever been quite this long I'm shutting down, consumed by the signs that I should've seen I always hoped when you fell away You'd take me too Cause i'm lost now Stuck in place I can't let go of you Time goes by Bleeds into the next life All of this just to feel alive For one last time Another meaningless high All of this just to feel alive I'm a stranger in my own home Desperately searching for what went wrong I'm already too far gone to find solace in your loss I always hoped when you fell away You'd take me too Cause i'm lost now Stuck in place I can't let go of you Time goes by Bleeds into the next life All of this just to feel alive For one last time Another meaningless high All of this just to feel alive.
